**DESIGNING ASSESSMENT RUBRICS**
__Fri 14 Aug__ For today's lesson, we will be focusing on the design of assessment rubrics for the coming Education Convention next Tue 18 Aug.

By now, you will have some knowledge of: - purpose of assessments - types of assessments - pros & cons of each assessment mode

I would like to inject an element of realism into this module by working with you to design the rubrics with which your ACE on this module will be graded.
 * __Primary Task (complete this first)__**

The URL we will be using is: []

I suggest you start with the rubrics for a //**multimedia project**// -- although that is not the only way you can assess your ACE module. I am deliberately leaving the design to you as I am expecting you to apply your knowledge (and some common sense) in deciding on the important aspects you should be assessed on. Experiment & explore this and other websites -- create the most relevant & comprehensive rubric (yet not overly-complex) to apply on your ACE. Have some fun doing this.

Work in your groups to complete this task. I expect to see & hear you discussing the following factors as you design your rubric: - purpose of assessment - areas to be assessed (what are the key areas of mastery that must be demonstrated by the student?) - their relative importance to each other (i.e. are some areas worth a higher weighting than others?)

State the names of all members in your group at the top of your entry. Each group need only post ONE rubric.//**
 * // When you have completed your rubric, save it as a doc/pdf/etc file and post it as an entry in the DISCUSSION FORUM on THIS PAGE.

When you are done, browse through the other groups' posts and post an entry to capture your group's assessment of the merits and weaknesses of their rubric.
 * __Secondary Task__**

Again, state the names of group members at the top of your entry.

While you are working on the above tasks, you can also look for suitable materials for the display board that you will be putting up on Tue 18 Aug for the Education Convention. I would have briefed you and gone through the necessary details/planning with you on Thu 13 Aug.
 * //__Concurrent Task (for those who can handle this)__//**

I look forward to a good lesson with you!
